I have read the instrutions. As these units come as indervidual units the instructions only refur to single units and dont take into account 3 core & Earth wiring.

The original unit came off some time ago due to plastering etc.. If i could remember how it came off i wouldnt be asking for help..

Any ideas..

At an educated guess I would say Red to C then link a piece of red from that C to the other C.Then yellow to L1 and blue to the other L1.

Are the two lights one-way ?

Quinn..

There are two seprate lights

There is only one switch for each light if thats what you mean.
